Yeah well, to be fair, I decided not to play Kingdom Come precisely because you only get to play a dude character. And I love medieval themed RPG's. It's just, ya know in this day and age for them to say.. "but realism" ..pff.. it's a game mate.

Having said that, I did play the Witcher series, because Geralt is one of my favorite fictional characters and have been reading the books long before the games came out. And to get to play as Cirilla, oh wow .. that's übercool.

Also, long before KC there was Warband and I played the hell out of warrior ladies, so yeah didn't bother with machistic BS "realism".

Anyways, too bad dude. I get ya yer poor sod. Just don't play. Case closed.

I bet these dudes have no problem playing Tomb Raider.

And they were real pissed at the end of Metroid.

There are two versions! One of them is this one, which you can okay if you're cool or even mildly tolerant. The other one is fucking right off and crying inside your own asshole

Companies have been opening up options in character creation across games to allow more diversity. More and more games allow you to select your name, gender, race, skin tone, physical attributes, personality, voice, and sexual orientation. These developers have discovered that people want to play characters they can relate to and this is mostly celebrated.

This person wanting to play as a male is a perfectly valid desire. It's the exact same reason I never played any of the previous Witcher games despite it otherwise being my kind of game; being forced to be Geralt breaks my immersion. I wonder how much more popular the Witcher series would be if it had even the most basic level of character customisation.

In a game where you are playing a role you define with your playstyle, that makes alot more sense. Here, you are playing an established story. No matter what choices you make in your gameplay, the character in this game will always react how they would react in that situation. It's not really intended to be that style of immersive, it's an immersive storyline, but you are not playing an avatar that is intended to represent you, or your imagined character.

Tomb raider games managed to be best sellers in an age where it was "wrong" to have a female protagonist. I think this game will do ok.

Ah fuck, he is right. Time to stop development on Witcher 4 while we go back and add a female main character option in the previous games.

I dunno, man.

Playing as a guy forces you to constantly stare at a dude the entire time. That's seems pretty gay. 💅

Meh. If that's not his jam, fair enough. I like playing women just to be different.

Lemmy: "FUCK THIS GUY!"

Two things: It would be insane $$$ to make two versions and no one has to buy the game.

There are two options: play or don't play
